## Resource

Alex Golden and Mike Facci continue their NBA Draft history series with a deep dive into the history of the No. 4 overall pick. The guys begin by examining how the team with the fourth-worst record has historically performed on lottery night, especially in the era of flattened lottery odds. Then, things get fun. Alex and Facci go head-to-head in a snake draft, selecting 20 players from the last 25 No. 4 overall picks to build their ultimate teams. Along the way, they discuss: Which No. 4 picks exceeded expectations The biggest busts and surprises How this draft slot has evolved over time To close things out, the guys discuss Caleb Wilson, where he would rank among recent No. 4 selections, and just how high his long-term ceiling could be. A fun mix of draft history, debate and future projection.
